              Joaquin Lopez Muñoz posted his first <a href="https://www.codeproject.com/Articles/3016/An-STL-like-bidirectional-map#test_suite" target="_top">bimap
              library</a> in 2002. Tons of users have been using it. He then
              <a href="https://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2002/10/38123.php" target="_top">asked
              the list for interest</a> in his library in 2003. Luckily, there
              was a lot of interest and Joaquin started to boostify the code. At
              some point all the developers seemed to agree that, rather than a bidirectional
              map, it would be better to work on an N-indexed set that contained
              Joaquin's library as a particular case.
            </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">2003 - multiindex_set</span></dt>
<dd><p>
              The library grew enormously and was ready for a formal review in 2003.
              At this point, the container was a lot more powerful, but everything
              comes with a price and this new beast lacked the simplicity of the
              original bimap.
            </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">2004 - indexed_set</span></dt>
<dd><p>
              In 2004, the formal review ended well for the new multi-indexed container.
              This Swiss army knife introduced several new features, such as non-unique
              indexes, hashed indices and sequenced indices. In the list of improvements
              to the library, it was mentioned that a bidirectional map should be
              coded in top of this container.
            </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">2005 - multi_index_container</span></dt>
<dd><p>
              Once in Boost, the library switched to the now familiar name "Boost.MultiIndex".
              Late in 2004, it formally became a member of Boost. Joaquin continued
              to enhance the library and added new features such as composite keys
              and random-access indices.
            </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">2006 - Multi Index Specialized Containers SoC project</span></dt>
<dd><p>
              In 2006, during the formal review of Boost.Property_tree, the need
              for a bidirectional map container built on top of Boost.MultiIndex
              arose again. Boost entered the Google SoC 2006 as a mentor organization
              at the same time. Joaquin put himself forward as a mentor. He proposed
              to build not only a bidirectional map, but a myriad multi-indexed specialized
              containers. Matias Capeletto presented an application to code Boost.Misc
              for the SoC and was elected, along with nine other students. Matias's
              and Joaquin's SoC project ends with a working implementation of the
              bimap library that was presented in an informal review. By the end
              of the year the library was queued for a formal review.
            </p></dd>
<dt><span class="term">2007 - Boost.Bimap</span></dt>
<dd><p>
              The formal review took place at the beginning of the year and Boost.Bimap
              was accepted in Boost.
